1994 Map of Garcia Peak

About this map

The high Cimarron Range defines this part of Colfax County, where the southern portion of the Philmont Scout Ranch meets the Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell). This mountainous terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal camps and back-country trails rather than permanent townships. Names like Red Hills Camp, Crooked Creek Camp, and Garcia Cow Camp reflect a landscape dedicated to scouting, conservation, and traditional ranching. The hydrology is dominated by the Agua Fria Creek and Saladon Creek systems, with high-altitude water bodies including Saladon Lake and Middle Lake. To the west, the Angel Fire Ski Area and the Colin Neblett State Wildlife Area mark the edges of recreational and protected lands near Garcia Peak.
